Here’s how we calculate the WOZ value of your home
To do this, we look at the characteristics of your home. These include location, square footage, and maintenance, as well as features such as additions and the year of construction. We also examine the sales prices of comparable homes.
We’ve compiled all this information in the appraisal report for your home.
Do you have doubts about the WOZ value of your home? If so, here is our advice:
-
First, check the appraisal report
Have you received a tax assessment showing the WOZ value of your home? And do you disagree with this WOZ value? Or do you have doubts about the data used to calculate it? If so, first check the information in the appraisal report in MijnGBLT:
- Is the data used correct? Check the square footage, lot number, and year of construction.
- Is the condition of the property accurate?
- Are the comparable properties similar in terms of location, type, and size?

That depends on the situation. But in most cases, you’ll pay less property tax (OZB) and water system tax for homeowners. We’ll explain it with this example:
Suppose you own a home in Zwolle. After an objection, we reduce the WOZ value by €20,000. The property tax is 0.0907% of the WOZ value. The water system levy is 0.03870% of the WOZ value. Here is the calculation:
- Property tax: €20,000 × 0.0907% = €18.14
- Water system tax: €20,000 × 0.03870% = €7.74
In this example, you will receive a refund of €25.88 for municipal and water board taxes.
